I don't see how.  Both systems install using HTTP from the same distro 
tree and use the same script to delete and recreate media from that tree 
after install:

********************************************************
[ftg at ftgme2 bin]$ cat customizeUrpmi.sh
#!/bin/sh


#
#  Create urpmi sources
#

echo "Deleting existing urpmi sources"
urpmi.removemedia -a
echo "Creating urpmi sources"
urpmi.addmedia --no-md5sum --probe-hdlist --distrib 
file:///mnt/cauldron/$HOSTTYPE
urpmi.update --no-ignore "Core Release Debug" "Core 32bit Release Debug" 
"Nonfree Release Debug" "Nonfree Release" "Tainted Release"
urpmi.update -a
********************************************************


The urpmi.cfg files are virtually identical:

***************************************
[root at ftglap urpmi]# cmp -b /etc/urpmi/urpmi.cfg 
/mnt/ftgme2/etc/urpmi/urpmi.cfg
/etc/urpmi/urpmi.cfg /mnt/ftgme2/etc/urpmi/urpmi.cfg differ: byte 2907, 
line 135 is  40   175 }
***************************************
